Marrero moving forward in rehab assignment

TORONTO -- Chris Marrero, who has yet to play a game this season after tearing his left hamstring in November, is making good progress on his rehab assignment.

The 23-year-old, who is currently at Double-A Harrisburg, hit .412, with one homer and four RBIs in six games with low Class A Hagerstown and Class A Advanced Potomac.

"Chris is doing better," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "He played nine innings the other day. He comes out of it and is still sore. I think he's not risking any injury right now, so he should come through pretty quickly."
